Uefa Champions League Final 2011 London: Barcelona vs Manchester United

FC Barcelona and Manchester United FC will visit Wembley on Saturday 28 May out to write another chapter in their rich history – the past suggests there will be little to choose between them.



In a city resonant with past glories, these modern-day superpowers have their eyes on European club football’s greatest prize. It was the same two years ago, when goals from Samuel Eto’o and Lionel Messi earned Barcelona victory against United in Rome. As UEFA.com delves through the archives, however, it is abundantly clear there really is little to choose between the sides.

1 Previous encounters
United and Barcelona have met on ten previous occasions, winning three games apiece and drawing the other four since beginning their rivalry in the 1983/84 UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup quarter-finals. They have also met in two UEFA finals; aside from Barcelona’s 2009 triumph, they also met in the 1991 UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup final in Rotterdam when United ran out 2-1 winners – Sir Alex Ferguson’s first European trophy at Old Trafford. Former Barça striker Mark Hughes was the United hero, twice beating goalkeeper Carlos Busquets, father of Sergio.

The sides were paired in the UEFA Champions League group stage in 1994/95 and 1998/99, drawing three games with Barcelona winning the other, and United prevailed when they met in the 2007/08 semi-finals. Barcelona enacted swift retribution in their last meeting in Rome though ominously for Barça, neither side has ever won back-to-back meetings.

2 Wembley experience
United are obviously no strangers to Wembley, scene of nine of their FA Cup final victories, though the north London venue also commands a place in Barcelona’s affections. Indeed, as Europe’s premier club competition returns to Wembley for a record sixth time – the first in the UEFA Champions League era – fate has pitted together the two sides that claimed their maiden European Cups there.

In 1968 United became the first English club to lift the trophy with a 4-1 extra-time victory against a Eusébio-inspired SL Benfica. The Catalan giants also needed an additional 30 minutes when they met UC Sampdoria 24 years later in the last final before the dawn of the UEFA Champions League era. With Josep Guardiola among the starting XI, Dutch international Ronald Koeman finally broke the deadlock in the second period of extra time with a trademark free-kick.

3 European pedigree
Both sides have three titles apiece and are aiming for a fourth to move level with AFC Ajax and FC Bayern München in the all-time list – behind only Liverpool FC, AC Milan and Real Madrid CF. United had a 100% record in finals before Rome in 2009, defeating Benfica (1968), Bayern (1999) and Chelsea FC (2008).

Barcelona have won three out of six, victories against Sampdoria (1992), Arsenal FC (2006) and United balanced out by losses to Benfica (1961), FC Steaua Bucureşti (1986) and Milan (1994). For the Blaugrana, triumph would bring their third European Cup in six seasons, making them the first team to win the UEFA Champions League three times this century.

4 Sir Alex v Guardiola
Guardiola was seven when a 36-year-old Sir Alex embarked on his first European campaign as a manager with Aberdeen FC in 1978/79. What followed for both men is well documented, and victory at Wembley would give the Scot his third European Cup – equalling a record held by compatriot Bob Paisley, who guided Liverpool to glory in 1977, 1978 and 1981.

Guardiola is one of only six men to win the European Cup as player and coach, adding his name to the pantheon of greats in 2009: Miguel Muñoz, Giovanni Trapattoni, Johan Cruyff, Carlo Ancelotti and Frank Rijkaard preceded him. Of those, only Muñoz and Ancelotti guided sides to two titles.

Robinho moves Milan closer to Scudetto

Robinho's winner against Brescia Calcio helped AC Milan stretch their advantage to eight points after SSC Napoli lost 2-1 to US Città di Palermo and FC Internazionale Milano beat S.S. Lazio.

Robinho was Milan's match-winner against relegation-threatened Brescia
AC Milan edged closer to their first Scudetto in seven years after Robinho scored the winner with eight minutes remaining at Brescia Calcio.

The Brazilian international had missed several chances before finally taking his opportunity to seal a 1-0 victory and propel the Rossoneri eight points clear at the top of Serie A, following SSC Napoli's 2-1 reverse at US Città di Palermo. The Partenopei were leapfrogged into second place by FC Internazionale Milano, who overcame S.S. Lazio by the same scoreline.

Napoli suffered their second successive defeat despite taking the lead. Edinson Cavani, who squandered a penalty last week, made no mistake this time, but Federico Balzaretti (36) and a Cesare Bovo spot kick (45+1) turned the match around for the Rosanero.

Inter moved a point clear of Walter Mazzari's side but had to come from behind themselves after goalkeeper Júlio César (22) was sent off for conceding a penalty which Mauro Zárate converted. Leonardo's men responded through Wesley Sneijder (40) and Samuel Eto'o's 20th league goal of the season (53). Udinese, however, passed up the chance to move into fourth as Amauri scored both goals in a 2-0 win for Parma FC.

AS Roma's faint UEFA Champions League hopes are still alive following a 1-0 win against AC Chievo Verona, Simone Perrotta's early strike taking the Giallorossi to within four points of fourth-placed Lazio. In the pick of the other action, Antonio Floro Flores hit a hat-trick as Genoa CFC defeated lowly US Lecce 4-2 and AS Bari were relegated courtesy of a 1-0 home loss to UC Sampdoria.

In the late fixture, Calcio Catania responded to Alessandro Del Piero's goals with two of their own, Maxi López (81) and Francesco Lodi (90+5) forcing a 2-2 draw at Juventus.

Easy Guitar Lessons for Beginners

Relevance Info Services, an international publisher of quality information asked me as a professional musician and guitar player to reveal a number of methods to learn play the guitar. There are a lot of methods today but also a lot of difference between those methods. I try to guide you to take the right decision based upon your personal goals

This article is about “Easy Guitar Lessons for Beginners”. More subject related articles will follow later on.

Yes! It’s possible. You can take easy guitar lessons without ever spending a dime. Following you will find four easy lessons to aid you in learning how to play the guitar.

Easy Guitar Lessons Number 1: How to hold a guitar.

Normally, you play the guitar on the leg. You’ll be strumming using your dominant hand so the guitar goes to the side of your dominant hand as well. Keep the guitar nice and straight, nice and close. Sometimes the guitar slides off your leg while playing because you bend your back to look at the placement of your fingers on the frets. This is quite normal for guitar players. But, it is important to stay away from bad habits while you’re just starting. So again, keep the guitar nice and straight, nice and close.

Easy Guitar Lessons Number 2: Getting to know the chord chart.

For the six chords you will be learning today, you will be focusing on the four first frets of the guitar. Frets, by the way, are the spaces between the metal vertical lines on the guitar. As there are six strings on the guitar, there will be 6 horizontal lines as well on the diagram representing the strings. Your fingers will be numbered 1-3 starting from the index finger.

Easy Guitar Lesson Number 3: The three basic chords.

The first chord you will need to study is the D chord. Finger #1 and #2 will be positioned on the second fret. Finger #1 will be on the third string while finger #2 will be on the first string. Finger #3 will be positioned on the third fret on the second string.

The second chord to study is the E chord which is one of the ideal chords for beginners to learn. Finger #1 is positioned on the first fret on the third string. Finger #2 and #3 will be on the second fret. Finger #2 will be positioned on the fifth string while finger#3 will be on the fourth string. Follow the diagram below.

The A chord is also one of the easiest chords to master. This chord can be played in more than one way but this is the basic method. All Fingers #1, #2, #3 are all positioned on the second fret. Finger #1 goes to the fourth string, finger #2 goes to the third string and Finger #3 is positioned on the second string. Refer below.

Easy Guitar Lesson Number 4: Strumming and changing chords.

The first three chords will now enable you to play some tunes with one additional step which is the strumming. Strumming your guitar is a fundamental skill to be learned. It is done by moving your dominant hand up and down on the strings. Always keep your hands moving. Don’t rush. Start slowly till you have strumming perfected. Start off slow then build up your speed gradually. The chords should ring out with no buzzing and only play the strings of that chord shown on the chord chart. On changing chords, master the basic cords. Set the beat. Change to the different chord before starting the next beat. To learn how to change chords and strum more effectively, practice on your favorite song with a slow beat.

These easy guitar lessons were designed to be a self-help tool for you. Enjoy playing guitar!

Becoming a Video Game Tester Is Easy But You Need To Know This First.

What gamer doesn’t want to become a video game tester? It sounds like the perfect great job! Playing games all day, sitting at home and not having to drive through traffic to work each day. Whilst it sounds like there are no negatives, there are some important factors that you need to consider before you quit your job to become a tester.

Firstly, you must realize that the work can be long, repetitive and boring. When you first get the game to test, you may enjoy it. After all, it is a new game that no one has played yet. After the one hundredth time, it may no longer be fun and you may begin to hate the game! You may even be asked to test the game within one week.

Although it may seem very easy, going through the game over and over again to test each character and weapon can be very time consuming.

Each map must also be tested thoroughly for glitches. Each glitch or error must be jotted down in a detailed report. Every error or technical problem you encounter must be listed. The reason? If the developer made a mistake in a line of script, you must find it. This error is your responsibility to find and report! If it isn’t, the company may lose millions of dollars in returns.

As many companies are under pressure to get the video games out, you may experience short deadlines, resulting in long working hours for you. However, it isn’t all doom and gloom! If you love gaming and playing the latest games, then this line of work will probably suit you. Don’t expect to get the better games (think Call of Duty) early though. You need to get experience first.

Some of the things you must know before applying for a job include:

• You must be 18 years of age (mainly for tax purposes).

• A degree or education isn’t a prerequisite. Good writings skills will help though.

• Initial pay is between $10 and $30, although experience testers earn double this. You need to start with the smaller companies to gain experience first however. Build up your resume and the big checks will come.

• Getting work on the big games with the big companies is impossible for beginners. You need to be patient and get your experience up. Once you are seen to be reliable and have experience, the bigger companies may take you on. It is important to treat each test the same though!

• Most importantly, you need your own console to play! Stick to the console you feel most comfortable with initially, and then move on to other consoles.

With this in mind, you should be ready to begin your career in video game testing.
